About this property

Charming Tahoe Donner Cabin with Stunning Mountain Views

This ‘Mountain Views Getaway' is a charming, remodeled cabin nestled in a beautiful, quiet, wooded setting among majestic pines that backs up to a greenbelt. Come enjoy our 3 bedroom, 2 bath home located in the highly desirable community of Tahoe Donner. From here, North Lake Tahoe's top attractions are moments away, as is several 18-hole golf courses.

The convenient location gives you easy access to several world-class ski resorts such as Palisades Tahoe, Northstar, Alpine Ski Resort, Sugarbowl, and Boreal. Whether you are on your vacation to snowboard, ski, enjoy the world class cross country ski center, snow play, or just curl up in a cozy blanket and sip on some hot cocoa, our cabin has everything you need.

In the non-winter months, the deck transforms itself into the perfect outdoor living space to sit peacefully under the shade of pine trees to enjoy your coffee or tea. Relax with a bottle of wine, breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy a barbecue dinner as you watch the sunset.

One of the three bedrooms occupies the main floor with a wall mounted 50-inch LCD TV. Freshen up at the full bath down the hall. The upstairs of this split-level home offers two more bedrooms, one with a queen-size bed and access to a small deck and the other with queen-size bed and full bathroom.

A two-seat breakfast bar dominates the cozy kitchen, which also includes a fridge, stove, and a dishwasher to make cleaning up a breeze. Prep your meal at the plentiful counter space and watch the birds fly by through one of the many windows.

The living room displays a gas fireplace which adds a nice ambiance during the winter months. A washer and dryer are on hand, as is free WiFi, free access to Netflix library of movies, and guest passes to the Trout Creek Recreation Center are also available (a fee applies).

As a Tahoe Donner guest, you have access to hot tubs, pools, workout area, horseback riding, tennis, golf and hiking between Trout Creek Recreation Center and Northwoods Clubhouse - both are within two miles of the home. The Marina at Donner Lake is a great place to launch your watercraft.

Dock details: There is a private dock at the Tahoe Donner Marina. Please bring your guest access cards. A $15 fee applies. Public docks are located along Donner Lake on Donner Pass Road.

Tahoe Donner is a highly desirable, mountain community located in the historic town of Truckee. Truckee and Tahoe Donner community are easily accessible from Highway 80. On your doorstep is historic downtown Truckee which boasts superb restaurants, and a chic shopping district. Lake Tahoe itself is only 16 miles away. The community is perfect for families, especially if you have children. You really don't need to travel more than ten minutes to ski, sled, swim, bike, hike, golf, X-country ski, play tennis, shop or relax on the beach.

North Lake Tahoe is a four-season playground! From ski resorts to hiking and biking trails to stand up paddle boarding, there's never a shortage of things to do.

Come see for yourself and enjoy the fresh mountain air and peaceful reflection at this North Lake Tahoe vacation rental.

About the host

Host profile image
This home is a family legacy. I have been going to the Tahoe Donner area since I was a small child where I have fond memories with my Father and sister - downhill skiing, sledding, and riding snowmobiles. This property was built by my father in 1980 who was a State Farm Insurance agent in So. San Francisco for 33 years. Our home was one of the first properties built on our street. Upon his death, the property became a vacation home for the family and has significant sentimental value to us. Our home was fully remodeled to bring it up-to-date with the charming styles that mountain homes have to offer. We welcome our visitors and hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.
